ADMINISTRATION At the dedication exercises for the Silver Lake Regional High School last September, the statement was made that we have a fine building but it is not yet a school. My reply to this statement was that I would do every- thing in my power to make it a fine school administratively. Actually, it is the student body and faculty who make the school. The seniors have been establishing Silver Lake tradition this year— other classes will want to emulate what has been done. The standards have been high and all of us on the staff are pleased that the groundwork for a fine school has been established. Our underclassmen must start here with the foundation of a fine school and make it finer. To the seniors— Congratulations on a job well started and best wishes for a future of outstanding progress as individuals in whatever field of endeavor you have chosen. CHESTER T. RAY Superintendent He who hath a trade, hath a legacy. These words of Benjamin Franklin, written in colonial days, are more true today than ever before. At Silver Lake these words might well be inscribed over the doorway to the section known as the vocational department. Here we have established this special opportunity for our students to make for them- selves the legacy mentioned by Franklin in his prophetic phrase. May the first seniors to graduate from the Silver Lake Regional Vocational High School, short though their course may have been, give example to those to follow. Our aim is to provide trade training as part of the high school course offering. Our hope is that each graduating class brings this aim nearer to reality. FRANCIS M. MORAN Assistant Superintendent Director, Vocational School The school year 1955-1956 has been a most notable one. The memories that I have and the memories that you have of this school year may differ somewhat in detail and intensity but, because we have shared the ex- periences of a new high school and of a first graduating class our memories are common. To those of you I have known for many years, and to those of you whose friendship I have but recently come to know and share, I wish you every success in life. May I remind you of your class motto: In His Footsteps We Will Follow. With such endeavor and high purpose in life you can- not help but reflect honor on your school, your townspeople, and your- selves. So may it be! LLOYD M. CREIGHTON Principal
